I'll speak up. I'm in the ER with our eldest daughter. She has a heart condition that we are trying to get diagnosed. I get choked up when I see my daughter in the condition she is in. But as long as I'm able to take care of her, I will.

Thanksgiving doesnt really mean that much to me. Every day I make a point to be thankful for my God, country and family. Put those on top and everything else will fall in place as it should. Seems kind of silly to only do it once a year

I suppose if I had to pick something "not material" it would be that I am thankful to be out of the personal mess that I was in a few years ago. If I hadnt changed from then it would be a different story

I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving.

I hope things turn out OK for your daughter. That is rough, man.. I can't imagine. Stay strong, both of you.

Lots to be thankful for...too bad it's commercialized because we should be thankful everyday.

I am thankful for that too. Thank you man!

And I agree.. why should we only be thankful once a year? I am thankful everyday for many things. I am sitting here in a cozy room typing onto a computer on a sportbike forum that I joined because I have a job that paid for what many people to be a luxury "recreational item". On thursday I will sit with my family and eat massive amounts of awesome food, then go home and pass out in my comfy bed. Might seem cheesy but that is daily stuff that I am thankful for.

I am thankful my Fiancee is moving to the UK with me to try and further our relationship and fix the issues we have, even though she has never lived outside a 50 miles area. Not many people can be a military wife.

Thankful that I still have my little brother to hang out with. After open heart surgery, liver transplant and a possible heart transplant I am very thankful he is still here to be my friend. As well, I am thankful for my close friends and family that stayed by my side in the ER for the weeks that I was there for my own misfortune.

Thank you for your concern. She's been diagnosed with Dysautonomia (or autonomic dysfunction). It is a broad term that describes any disease or malfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The autonomic nervous system controls a number of functions in the body, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestive tract peristalsis, sweating, amongst others.

She's doing fine now that she knows what she has. Thanks for the concern,

The military trained/utilized and sent me wherever the mission required a 2S0X1. I met/worked with lots of different people from all over the world. It was a privilage to be accepted by this organization.
